Trusting God
Trusting GodI was trusting God. I now had more time to concentrate on God’s plan and getting healthy. I went to two different nutritionists and began to eat a low fat diet with lots of fruits, vegetables, and whole grains. I bought “organic” whenever possible. My teacher friends purchased a juicer for me so I could make juices and smoothies out of whole fruits and vegetables. I took vitamins and drank herbal teas and lots of water. I gave up caffeine and wine. I took daily walks and long relaxing warm baths. I spent time in prayer and meditation – trusting God. I joined eight Bible studies, but soon cut back to two weekly studies that required lots of homework. I also attended biweekly and monthly covenant groups and spent hours reading the Bible and other inspirational books. I kept a journal of my feelings and the things for which I was grateful. I even went to a psychologist to deal with some unresolved anger and guilt. Most importantly, I learned to fully trust God. He is the provider for all my needs. His grace is sufficient.
The word of the Lord is proved;
He is a shield to all those who trust in Him.
(Psalm 18:30)
The Lord is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer;
My God, my strength, in whom I will trust;
My shield, and the horn of my salvation, and my high tower.
(Psalm 18:2)
Trusting God and releasing everything to Him…
Cancer has taught me to trust. I was always trusting myself, instead of trusting God. But I find that God provides for all my needs. When I get overwhelmed by circumstances, it’s because I’m trying to do it again, and not turning it over to Him. When I release my cancer to God, He works everything out for good.
(Psalm 37:5)
What do you think?
We have all sinned and deserve God’s judgment. God, the Father, sent His only Son to satisfy that judgment for those who believe in Him. Jesus, the creator and eternal Son of God, who lived a sinless life, loves us so much that He died for our sins, taking the punishment that we deserve, was buried, and rose from the dead according to the Bible. If you truly believe and trust this in your heart, receiving Jesus alone as your Savior, declaring, "Jesus is Lord," you will be saved from judgment and spend eternity with God in heaven.
